| Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
|
| Lord, I can’t help but love you 'til the day that I die
|
| So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
|
| Just like last time when the feathers flew
|
| You’re runnin' wild kickin' up your heels
|
| A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
|
| Lord, I can’t live without you and you know it’s true
|
| But there’s no livin' with you so what’ll I do
|
| I’m goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
|
| And maybe by then you’ll 'preciate a good man
|
| Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
|
| No, I can’t help but love you 'til the day that I die
|
| So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| Well, now I don’t know, but I’ve heard say
|
| That ever' little dog is a-gonna have his day
|
| You’d better pay attention, don’t you dare forget
|
| 'Cause I’m just a little bitty puppy yet
|
| Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
|
| The thing to do was leave you, but I should’a left then
|
| Now I’m too old to leave you, but I still get sore
|
| When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
|
| Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
|
| Lord, I can’t help but love you 'til the day that I die
|
| So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
|
| Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why |
